and by USB port he means ODBC port
1, 2, and 3 could all be related to oil starvation or AOS issues. The smoking you're seeing is usually the best indicator of a failed/failing AOS.

Yeah got the port names mixed, as for the bulbs I thought I read the ebay units were in some cases melting the lenses and other times causing other electrical problems. The banging noise is something that could be nothing, still you want to address it ahead of failure to save money in the long run, enjoy the ride and welcome.

Get the codes, then it will be easier to track down the issue, OBD is below ignition and light switch. AOS is the air oil separator, if it were me I would diagnose the first problem, not only is it more pressing it might be related to your perception that the oil spatter is excessive.
